We may also store data that you voluntarily provide during AJC events in order to keep you informed of other events of a similar nature.

You will receive general information from us only if you choose to do so. If you give consent, you will have the right to revoke consent at any time.

“Cookies”

You may visit our website anonymously. Except as described in this Privacy Statement, we do not collect identification data of our visitors.

We do, however, use cookies (small computer files that stay on your computer and let us know when and how often you visit our site) to keep and track general information about website usage. Cookies do not identify the individual user, just the computer used.

Cookies and other similar technology can make it easier for you to use the website during future visits. Cookies only record which areas of the site have been visited by the computer in question, and for how long. This information allows AJC to understand how our website is being used, which helps with planning future website growth.

Allowing us to create a cookie does not give us access to the rest of your computer and we will not use cookies to track your online activity once you leave our site. Cookies are read only by the server that placed them, and are unable to execute any code or virus.

If you don’t like cookies…

You can have your browser reject the cookies. Most Internet browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions.

Log Files

Like most standard Web site servers, AJC uses log files. AJC collects and stores only the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account), the date and time you access the site, and the Internet address of the website from which you linked to the AJC site. AJC uses this information to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of the site, and to make the site more useful to visitors. Upon request, AJC is required by law to disclose this and other information records to you.

Links

Throughout our web pages, we provide links to other servers and websites which may contain information of interest to our readers. We take no responsibility (and shall have no liability) for, and exercise no control over, the organizations, views, or accuracy of the information contained on other servers and/or sites.

Legal Disclaimer

Though we take industry standard measures and other efforts to preserve user privacy, AJC may need to disclose personal information (including personally identifiable information) when required by law, or where it has a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process, and/or in connection with a verified request relating to criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity. If legally permissible, we will inform you of such requests for information before disclosure occurs.

You have at any time the right of access, modification, correction and removal of your data collected in our database. You can request this by contacting AJC by e-mail. Complete removal may not be immediate, however, and in some instances, archival copies may be impossible to delete.
